2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia heating

The Easy Entry function can be
activated/deactivated using the Connect
system.
Activating entrance mode
With the door open and the starter device
at STOP, the driver side seat will be in a
position retracted by 2.36 in (60 mm)
with respect to the driving position set by
the user.
When the door is closed and the starter
device is in the ON position, the seat will
automatically return to the set driving
position.
NOTE If the seat is moved manually while
it is still in retracted position, it will
remain in the new set position when the
car is entered again.
Activating exit mode
In order to help the driver get out of the
car, the driver side seat will move back by
2.36 in (60 mm) when the starter device
is in STOP mode and the driver side door
is opened.
NOTE Pressing any button on the seat
memory or control panel will immediately
interrupt the automatic positioning
function (antipanic function). The
operation must be repeated to complete
the function.FRONT AND REAR SEAT ELECTRIC

Warning
lightWhat it means
AIRBAG FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning
light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
28) 29)
FRONT SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the car is stationary and the driver side or passenger side seat belt, with the passenger
seated, is not fastened. The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger
side seat belt, with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE
The warning light switches on in the case of engine oil overheating.
If the problem persists, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
15)
WARNING
28)The fault of thewarning light is signalled by the switching on of theicon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
29)If the
warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
IMPORTANT
15)If the symbol switches on when driving, stop the vehicle and the engine immediately.

Symbol What it means
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING (Diesel versions)
This warning light comes on when the ignition device is brought to ON and will switch off when the glow plugs have reached the
preset temperature. The engine can be started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT In mild or high temperature conditions, the warning light comes on for a very short time only.
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
The symbol flashing indicates a fault in the glow plug preheating system.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible

The symbol switches on in the case of transmission overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this case an engine
performance limitation is carried out.
Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or idling.
SPEED LIMITER SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, the symbol switches on to signal a Speed Limiter system failure.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the failure eliminated.
INSUFFICIENT ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL (where provided)
If the symbol switches on, it indicates a low engine coolant level condition.

FUEL TANK CAP
(where provided)
The symbol lights up if the fuel tank cap is open or not properly closed.
Tighten the cap properly.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE
The symbol and the the respective message appear on the display to indicate a failure in the electric parking brake system. This
failure could partially or completely block the car because the electric parking brake could remain activated even if automatically
or manually disengaged using the relevant controls.
If the car can still be used (electric parking brake not engaged), drive carefully to the nearest Alfa Romeo dealership, remembering
that the electric parking brake will not work.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
63) 64) 65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
31)
The car is equipped with Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS), which can
advise the driver in the event of
insufficient tyre pressure on the basis of
the pressure when cold indicated in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
The system comprises a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which is able
to send information on the inflation
pressure of each tyre to the control unit
fig. 67.
Inflation pressure varies in relation to
temperature by about 1 psi (0.07) bar
every 43.7 °F (6.5 °C). This means that
when the outdoor temperature falls, the
tyre pressure decreases. Always adjustthe tyre inflation pressure when cold.
This is defined as the tyre pressure after
at least 3 hours of vehicle inactivity or
travel of less than 1mile (1.6 km) after
the 3 hour interval.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must not
exceed the maximum pressure indicated
on the shoulder of the tyre: for further
details see the instructions in the "Rims
and tyres" paragraph, in the "Technical
data" chapter.
Tyre pressure increases when the car is
driven. This is normal, and no adjustment
of the pressure is required.
The TPMS signals the driver a possible
insufficient pressure if this falls below
the warning limit for any reason, including
the effects of low temperature and
normal loss of pressure from the tyre.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient
tyre pressure when it is equal to or
greater than the prescribed cold inflation
pressure. Therefore, if insufficient tyre
pressure is indicated (
warning light
on instrument panel on), increase the
inflation pressure up to the prescribed
cold inflation value.
The system automatically updates and
warning light
switches off each time
the system receives the updated
inflation pressures. The vehicle might
need to be driven at a speed higher thanabout 15.5 mph (25 km/h) up to
20 minutes for the TPMS to receive this
information.
Operating example
Supposing that the prescribed cold
inflation pressure (i.e. vehicle stationary
for at least 3 hours) is 33.4 psi (2.3 bar),
if the ambient temperature is 68°F
(20°C) and the detected tyre pressure is
28.3 psi (1.95 bar), a temperature
reduction of 19.4°F (−7°C) results in a
decrease in tyre pressure, bringing it to
approximately 24 psi (1.65 bar). This
pressure is sufficiently low to activate
the
warning light.
Heating of tyres due to driving the
vehicle may increase tyre pressure up to
approximately 28.3 psi (1.95 bar), but
the
warning light will stay on. In this
situation, the warning light will switch off
only after the tyres are inflated to the
prescribed cold pressure value for the
car.
IMPORTANT The TPMS is designed for
original tyres and wheels. The prescribed
pressures and consequent alarm
thresholds set in the TPMS are based on
the dimensions of the tyres fitted on the
vehicle. Using spare wheels of a size, type
and/or design different from the original
ones may cause an irregular operation of
the system and damage the sensors.
Aftermarket fitted wheels may damage
